We arrived in port at Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii on Thursday morning. This was the only port where you would need to take a small boat to shore (we weren't actually docked on the island). Ian and I decided to stay on the ship and just relax for the day. That afternoon there was also a chocolate buffet I was eager to check-out.

We arrived a few minutes before the buffet was scheduled to open and were surprised to see a huge line had already formed. They were letting people in to take photos of the buffet before opening the doors to guests who wanted to eat the chocolate. We went in and I snapped a few shots of some of the chocolate sculptures.

Then the opened the doors and we've never seen such a mad rush before. People were going crazy! It was actually pretty funny to see. We both put a few items on our plate, chocolate cakes, fruit dipped in chocolate, chocolate pastries and of course I had to have a hot fudge sundae. It was all pretty yummy, but the best part was definitely people watching.
